At this point, our Jarrahdale split very easily, as it's shell is pretty brittle. But if your winter squash is tougher, just keep wiggling the knife and whacking with the hammer til you've cut your pumpkin in half. After this point, I just scoop out the seeds and pulp, put the two halves on oiled cookie sheets and roast them.
